My deepest condolences to the Flinn family. I only recently learned of Mr. Flinn's passing. He was my barber since I was 6 years old and family friend for just as long. I have such fond memories of stopping by the barber shop or dropping by the shore house to say hello to Mr. and Mrs. Flinn. Last time was a few years ago in Avalon with my son and daughter. My thoughts and prayers go out to Mrs. Flinn and the family.

Gerry cut my hair for some 20 years before I moved away. He cut my Father's hair for around 50 years. It was always a pleasure to come into his shop and talk about life in general. My condolances to the family.
